Roosevelt Island Tramway
Roosevelt Island cable car
This cable car was installed to connect the borough of Manhattan to Roosevelt Island, separated by the East River. It was initially a temporary solution until the installation of the metro line serving the island, but this cable car ended up lasting over time and is currently still active. It has carried over 26 million passengers since it opened, with a length of 960 metres.
We intervened when the only shuttle bus was replaced in 2010 by two parallel wide-track single-track cable cars.
